Hello everyone,
we have been searching for a house for quite some time and have finally found a great one.
The interior of the house is fully finished and complete. Only the exterior still requires some work. To properly estimate the costs, we are currently preparing a (financial) plan for the exterior design.
While doing this, we realized that we are not sure whether the house just needs a splash guard or if the foundation has only been partially done and still requires insulation and other work.
Since we are complete beginners, we would appreciate your advice.
Best regards,
Sabine

Protected from what exactly?
Like most, we have an external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS). Typically, it has a synthetic resin render on top. These no longer have the highly absorbent properties of the mineral-based render systems that were commonly used in the past.
However, the render does not come into contact with the ground. There is a splash guard with gravel in front of it, so water does not accumulate there.

Oh, you can see it in my photo. Without the base coat plaster, it would just be the bare foundation. We don’t have insulation because the house is made of aerated concrete blocks and doesn’t need any. The house doesn’t have an external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) / external wall insulation. Carsten
